Summary

Trump ally Steve Bannon is indicted by a federal grand jury for contempt of Congress after defying his January 6 Select Committee subpoena. What does this mean for Bannon and the Trump inner circle? CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig and Trump’s former impeachment trial attorney Robert Ray join to give their perspectives on what could happen next.

500 Wisconsin National Guard Troops have been activated to support police in anticipation of the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, as the judge rules the jury can consider the prosecution’s arguments that Rittenhouse provoked his attack, and also considers lesser charges ahead of the closing arguments expected on Monday.

That, as the defense attorney in the Arbery murder trial offers "apologies" for his comments about black pastors, plus, Britney Spears' attorney vows an investigation into the star's father for his alleged abuse and misconduct.
